Music streaming service Vevo will shut down website, retain Portland engineering office

Vevo, the company behind many of the music videos you see on YouTube, is shutting down its own website and mobile apps. But the company says it will retain its Portland engineering office that opened three years ago.

Music fans are accustomed to being able to call up just about whatever song they want on YouTube. Often, those videos come from Vevo - a service jointly owned by top music labels and by Google, YouTube's parent company.
